Mitch Daniels run for president may be short lived

While I had never really thought much about whom the Republicans fielded as their nominee for president in 2012, I am a political junkie and was attempting to listen about those that may throw their hat into the ring.  Political operatives and pundits know much more about these possible candidates than I ever will but after hearing the pros and cons of those believed to be in the running, I was aspired to speak about just one of them.

Watching Hardball with Chris Matthews, he was speaking about Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels with Susan Page and Mark Halperin.  I heard them mention that those that supported George Bush, high level GOP personnel and maybe even Bush himself was anxious to get behind him.  Tom LoBianco of the Associated Press wrote an article titled Ind. governor's wife mum about White House plans in which it was reported that “instead he demurred, much as he has over the last few months, in his 14-minute introduction of his wife. And she said nothing about his political career.  Mitch Daniels spoke with reporters after the speech, but Cheri Daniels was not made available for interviews, much as she has been shielded from interviews in the Daniels' 6 years as the first couple” to which Chris Matthews brought up the point of his wife making the call may show Daniels as not really in charge.

After all this I say, as goes Mitt Romney and his connection with “Obamacare” so will Mitch Daniels and his connection with Bush.  If Daniels makes it through the primary, all democratic proponents have to do is tie him to Bush.  Much is said about Huntsman not making it through the Republicans primaries because of his connection with Obama and if that’s the case then should not this also apply to Daniels?  Just my opinion but I don’t think I’m wrong.
